April 3, 2012 Game Recap & Discussion

Of course, there are no guarantees. I agree with you on having time to recompose. It took all of five minutes to throw out the puzzle and come to a decision as to what needed to be done. At least 15 minutes would have been great, but again, I cannot complain because I am blessed with a great once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I can understand the WOF side of things because we were running behind schedule with our tapings, so they didn't exactly have a lot of leeway in time for making that decision.

Thank you! Yes, it is incredibly cool! I felt like all of us contestants for that week were a team and rooting each other on!

It would have been nice to see it more heavily populated in the audience for sure. Glad the second audience was lively!

And, thanks for understanding and sympathizing on my unique situation, but you're absolutely right! It's icing on the cake!

I can understand what you mean that it is a competition. I'm not going to lie and say I wasn't glad that I got to the bonus round. I remember Wendy, the middle contestant in my game saying in between takes of how she secretly wishes us to go bankrupt. Who doesn't at some point or another? lol All in good fun I'm glad that we all got to leave with some cash and dignity

I had the same wish with one of the contestants who was really good during our rehearsals and praying to God that she wasn't in my group too!

I love hearing you all talk about your takes on your experiences that day! Thanks for sharing as well!

Honestly Wario, you're taking an anecdote and trying to twist it around. There is plenty of long-term proof this season that the show is declining, so there's no need to slam them here - the puzzle and contestant quality is enough.

I personally think that Wheel has always had some type of "if we screw up, we have to replay the whole round", because in the maingame it's a multiplayer game, and it's impossible to say what would have happened without the mistake. On a pricing game on Price, it's more obvious with single player. And yes, the BR is single player, but you have to apply the same rules to all rounds at that point. The point is, these guidelines for handling errors may have been in place since even 1975 - I think a tech goof would have been saved by the geeks and put on Youtube by this point in time if it ever aired.

It also makes sense to me that the contestant must say the BR correctly to win, no shortcuts by having Pat goof up in your favor. So yes, it would be a cheap and awkward win, I don't see any question in honesty here.
